How to Apply for NADOI Certification

• Read the Certification FAQ to learn more about the application process
• Use the ELIGIBILITY CALCULATOR to ensure you have the experience required to apply for Certification
• REQUIRED READING:
  Before submitting your Application, you will be asked to affirm that you have read and agree to two documents.
  • NADOI Code of Ethics
  • NADOI Standards of Conduct

Please be sure to read them before completing the examination and submitting the Application. NADOI neither dictates nor restricts an instructor’s informed choices regarding equipment and methods because “humaneness” is directly tied to the instructor’s demonstrated knowledge and experience.

The membership examination contains a number of essay questions. To help you prepare for the amount of detail asked for, here is a sample essay answer about a common topic:  How to Make Toast. When you read it, you will be amazed at the number of steps that would be required if you were explaining such a simple procedure to someone who had never seen it done!

Many of our essay questions ask you to explain things in the language you would use for students. Not giving enough detail is the most common reason applicants do not pass the first time they take the exam.
